Reminder: Trans*Formations with Juliana Gleeson, 15.10.

by Flora Löffelmann

Dear all, it is a pleasure to remind you that the next installment of the Trans*Formations event series at the department of philosophy is soon! This talk and workshop series organized by the Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy provides insights into recent developments in trans* philosophizing. When & Where: October 15, 17:00 to 18:30 at HS 3A, NIG, Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien Intersex: Beyond Introductions! A Book Presentation on _Hermaphrodite Logic_ This workshop will showcase the key arguments made by Juliana Gleeson's new book _Hermaphrodite Logic_ (published June 2025): 1) That intersex advocacy followed on rapidly from intersex people meeting one (on and offline) another in the early 1990s. 2) That this new intersex movement developed in conjunction with feminist research, offering a moment of self-consciousness that was spoken to by intersex advocacy's rhetoric, and wit ("90s edgy"). 3) That their protests from 1996 to the present served as a revelation, which challenged professional authority (specifically claims to clinical "management"), and objectivity, and rewrote the history of sex (in ways still being processed today). Along the way, participants will be challenged in turn, with regards to "intersex" being a topic that requires continual introduction. Gallows humour guaranteed. Juliana Gleeson is a writer and reader raised in west London, who now lives in east Berlin. Her first edited collection was the pioneering anthology Transgender Marxism [1] (2021), which she oversaw with Elle O'Rourke. Well noted for her love of two word titles, her first book Hermaphrodite Logic [2] was published this summer - addressing the history and style of the intersex movement. She's currently writing three follow-ups: a co-written philosophical manuscript _Dyke __Dialectics_, a collection of dialogues about sex hormones, and a brief book on femininity's substance. If you would like to participate in the workshop (which will be in English), please register via U:RISE. [3] Right now, it seems that the workshop is almost fully booked - but I am sure that we will find some extra spots :) So please just come around even though you maybe could not sign up! No prior knowledge needed for participation, and students and staff of all levels are welcome. There will be snacks and drinks! After the workshop, participants are cordially invited to join for the presentation of Gleeson's book [4], organized by Referat Genderforschung, which will take place 19:00 at Seminarraum 7, Kolingasse 14-16. Juliana Gleeson will be in conversation with Tinou Ponzer, Chairperson of VIMÖ - Verein Intergeschlechtlicher Menschen Österreich [5] & co-editor of Inter*Pride: Perspektiven aus einer weltweiten Menschenrechtsbewegung. [6] _Please save the date for the two next events of Trans*Formations this fall:_ "Workshop trans Philosophie" mit Gen Eickers und Sigmond Richli, 18.11., 16:45-19:00, HS 3A im Rahmen der Trans* Awareness Week 2025 (auf Deutsch) "Trans*Modernität, Trans*Kolonialität?" - Workshop mit Jonah I.

Einladung zur Buchpräsentation "Interkulturelle Phänomenologie: Georg Stengers Werk im Gespräch" am 08.10.2025 um 17h im Lesesaal der FB Philosophie und Psychologie

by Sonja Fiala

Liebe Institutsangehörige! Herzliche Einladung zur Buchpräsentation "Interkulturelle Phänomenologie: Georg Stengers Werk im Gespräch" am 08.10.2025 um 17h im Lesesaal der FB Philosophie und Psychologie. Zum Buch Es dürfte wohl kaum verwundern, dass die Texte in einem Band, welche das Werk von Georg Stenger würdigen, insbesondere zwei Bereichen entspringen: der Phänomenologie und der interkulturellen Philosophie. Wollte man die einschlägigen Autor*innen dieses Bandes unter einem einzigen programmatischen Begriff vereinen, so wäre dies gewiss die einer >Interkulturellen Phänomenologie<. Darunter werden indes unterschiedliche Fragestellungen verhandelt, so etwa die interkulturellen Verflechtungen des Denkens, die Verortungen der Welt, der Anspruch des Anderen im Politischen sowie das Phänomen des Dazwischen, der Genese und Physis. Mit Beiträgen von Hiroshi Abe | Katsuya Akitomi | Arno Böhler | Sarhan Dhouib | Mădălina Diaconu | Hans-Herbert Kögler | Sophie Loidolt | Ram Adhar Mall | John C. Maraldo | Ali Asghar Mosleh | Ryosuke Ohashi | Heiner Roetz | Hans Schelkshorn | Hans Rainer Sepp | Toru Tani | Zhuofei Wang | Niels Weidtmann | Markus Wirtz | Ichiro Yamaguchi [cid:image001.png@01DC23D1.B0599470] https://bibliothek.univie.ac.at/events/008516.html Liebe Grüße Sonja Fiala OR Mag.
